Canadian National (CNR-T) vs Canadial Pacific (CP-T). He owns CNR-T and thinks CP is more commodity based (grains and agriculture and lumber). CNR-T moves more goods.

Buy CN if you think more inter-modal goods will be shipped.

The industry had many years that were terrible but then companies were bought and it has been rationalized. Good opportunity. Good pricing power. Good capacity on the oil side as he sees more oil being moved by rail particularly in Canada. It is a play on global growth as rail is efficient. It has underperformed CP lately and thinks it is going to catch up (Analysts' price target is $ 106.75).

His long-term view on this is positive, having owned the stock since 1997. The economy is going to drive this company, so it depends on which way the economy goes. They were a little short on their earnings in the last quarter because they spent some money on locomotives. Somebody has to move the products regardless of what happens to NAFTA. This is the kind of stock you want to put in your portfolio.

Just came out with their Q4. Revenue was in line but their costs were higher than expected, and the stock sold off. CapX got a little higher than expected as well. This still trades at a 1 point premium to Canadian Pacific and the rest of its peers. However, this is the prize in the rail space, and he models an easy 10% EPS over the next 5 years. He would buy this on the current dip.

It is the north to south rail. The rails benefit from lower US tax rates but NAFTA is a risk. It is at the upper end of its range, as is CP-T. CNR-T is discounting these things. It would be a buy under $100.

One of the staples in his portfolio. He will add or trim when it gets to certain levels. The issue with rails is that there is a lot of uncertainty with NAFTA. If something negative were to happen on the NAFTA front, rails would certainly be impacted. These are really great, long term consistent businesses, operating in a sort of oligopoly. It's one you want to own over the long-term. He would be a buyer on weakness.

It has been playing second fiddle to CP-T for the last 5 years. It has always been the more efficient of the railways throughout North America. There is no reason it can’t go to $110. It is a solid play, but not for fast money.
